Discussion: Recalling Trump's Health Obsession As Bornstein Comes Back Into Spotlight

Trump dictated Bornstein’s letter saying that he’d be the healthiest person ever elected to the presidency. Trump apparently dictated DJTJR’s explanation of the infamous Trump Tower meeting. I’d guess that Trump wrote Ronny Jackson’s script for him, too. Trump also masqueraded as John Barron to tout Trump’s accomplishments.

But pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!

Trump promised that his health records would reveal “perfection” in late 2015.

I’d guess that this delusion goes some way towards explaining Drumpf’s unflagging insistence that Mueller’s trying to crucify him.
Not really a Supply Side, more like Crony Capitalism, Jesus for this one.

Does Jackson hand out perfect cognitive test scores like he hands out prescription drugs?

Everything in Trump-world is malleable. It won’t surprise me if the ‘stable’ part of his genius gets the boot when he’s gotta justify the obstruction-like content of all those tweets. Ya know, “I got rage issues. Some things just set me off. I lose control of what I’m saying. Not something I can control, not something I can be held responsible for.”

PP didn’t have his records transferred via HIPAA procedures.

This appears to be a clear violation of the law. Under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), they would have had to present Bornstein with a special form in which Trump authorized them to receive copies of his records, which they reportedly didn’t. They certainly wouldn’t be allowed to rifle through a doctor’s records and seize the originals, which is how Bornstein described what happened, calling it a “raid.”

Bornstein himself may have committed a HIPAA violation when he told the New York Times that he had prescribed a hair-growth drug for Trump. That article ran two days before Schiller’s visit to his office, suggesting the article (and Trump’s inevitable rage over it) is what prompted the visit.

There isn’t a test to determine if this man is a dope. We don’t need one. Our eyes don’t lie.

Harold Bornstein gastroenterologist. That means he is a butt doctor. He looks up Trumps butt.

Is it possible that Trump does business with people who make him seem more normal? Or that he hires people so that he appears a little more sane? I would almost consider it a joke, except that it keeps happening.

Trump always accuses people of things he himself did wrong:

No Collusion, Democrats colluded = Trump Colluded
Bring Bill Clinton’s accusers to debate = Trump paying off porn-stars
Lock Her up! = Trump involved with criminal activities
Her Emails! = Trump secret communications with Russia
Obama is an illegal! = Trump’s wife worked illegally in the USA?

So I’m sure his accusation of Hillary having health issues she is hiding, means he is hiding health issues. Once you understand Trump’s thinking of attacking people were he himself has a weakness, you start to understand were Trump’s skeletons are buried.

They ran some tests under pseudonyms. Wonder what those tests were for.

Use your imagination. Posit tests for the most embarrassing disorders you can conceive. Would any of your imaginings, if confirmed and made public, add one iota or scintilla to the load of public embarrassment Trump already drags behind him?

Maybe he was tested for an STD? Big whoop. Just proves he’s still got it, that the Viagra isn’t just for show.

Maybe he was prescribed Viagra?! Even bigger whoop. Proud use of Viagra has been a thing for some time now. No matter how long and strong your erections might be, there is at least this urban legend that Viagra makes your performance even better than its already top flight unenhanced status.

Paternity tests? See under the two items above, at least if it’s bastards Trump may have left behind with prostitutes and mistresses. Not that you would test through your primary care doctor for that purpose, or to see if your putative legitimate children really had you as their father.

Maybe Trump is a secret cancer survivor. This is any sort of embarrassment? You would let yourself be treated by Bornstein for cancer? Your cancer doctors would let you continue to see Bornstein?

Look. It was the Propecia that got the records seized. In the demented Trumpiverse, his hair loss problem is some deep dark secret, known to but a few. Who knows what tests they might have used pseudonyms for, because Trump imagined it might be necessary based on a similar maggot theory of his.

If any good is to come of the Trump presidency, it will be that it gets us off the Great Man theory as it applies to the US presidency. We have an actual dementia sufferer make it to this exalted office, and we have to believe that since he is obviously not a Great Man in any other sense, he must be a great criminal. Stop it! He’s just demented. He’s not a criminal mastermind weaving his 11th dimensional chess criminal plots. He’s just demented.
